Self Regulating Heating Cable 220V for Pipe Freeze Protection, PTC Self Limiting Heat Trace Tape for Water Pipes, Roof Gutter Snow Melting,(5m)
- Advanced PTC Self-Limiting Technology: This self regulating heating cable 220V features intelligent control with parallel PTC heating elements between dual copper busbars, automatically adjusting power output based on ambient conditions—increasing resistance as rises to approximately 65°C, then limiting further heat generation to forestall overheating while maintaining consistent warmth throughout the entire cable length.
- Lasting Construction with Pure Copper Conductors: Engineered with bare copper wire cores and -resistant PE insulation sheath (superior to PVC alternatives), this freeze protection heating cable delivers 17W/m power output at 10°C, withstands installation temperatures down to -40°C, and operates reliably within 200V–240V voltage range for long-term performance in harsh winter environments.
- Flexible Installation for Metal and Plastic Pipes: Can be cut to any desired length, overlapped, or crossed without compromising functionality—minimum bending radius of 25.4mm at 20°C ensures For easy wrapping around pipes, elbows, and valves; package includes heat shrink tubing and connectors for immediate setup on domestic water lines, solar water systems, or industrial pipelines.
- Energy-Efficient Freeze Protection: Maintains water above 0°C without requiring separate controllers or thermostats, automatically reducing power consumption as pipes warm up—starting current remains below 0.6A/m while uniform heat distribution across the 7.3mm-wide cable cold spots, saving electricity compared to constant-wattage alternatives.
- Versatile Applications Across Industries: Suitable for fire protection systems, petroleum facilities, steel plants, electric power infrastructure, storage tanks, rooftop gutter snow melting, and residential plumbing—available in 5m, 6m, 7m, 10m, 20m, 30m, and 50m lengths to accommodate various project requirements with operating range of 65°C±5°C for reliable performance in Canadian winters.
